St Abbs

About

Saint Abbs is a picturesque fishing village on the rugged Berwickshire coast of southeast Scotland, renowned for its charm and proximity to the St Abb’s Head National Nature Reserve. Nestled around a small harbour, the village has a strong maritime heritage, with fishing still a part of local life, though tourism and diving now play a major role. Its whitewashed cottages, dramatic cliffs, and sweeping sea views make it a popular destination for walkers, nature lovers, and photographers. The clear waters off the coast attract scuba divers from across the world, as the area is part of a designated marine reserve rich in underwater life. Saint Abbs is also notable in popular culture, having featured as “New Asgard” in Avengers: Endgame. Despite this fame, it retains its tranquil character, offering visitors a glimpse of traditional Scottish coastal life alongside access to some of the most striking natural scenery in the region.
